The Mortal Kombat 11 unlock time is rapidly approaching. But, with varying release times and preload dates for Xbox One, PS4, Steam, and Nintendo Switch, it’s just about easier to pull off a fatality with one hand tied behind your back than it is to know when you can start playing Mortal Kombat 11. So, that’s where our big Mortal Kombat 11 unlock time guide comes in, so you can be prepared to play MK 11 hours in advance.
Mortal Kombat 11 Unlock Times on PS4 and Xbox One
No matter whether you’re in the US or UK, the Mortal Kombat unlock time for PS4 and Xbox One remains the same: midnight in your region on April 23. So that’s 12 AM Eastern if you’re in New York, 12 AM Pacific in California, 12 AM BST in London, and so on.
Mortal Kombat 11 Switch Unlock Time
Unfortunately, Mortal Kombat 11 Switch fans have a long time to wait, relatively speaking, to get a hold of the game. The unlock time is set for May 10. It’ll be an even longer wait come that day, too, because third-party digital pre-orders and purchases unlock at 12 PM Eastern, which is 9 AM Pacific and 5 PM BST.
Mortal Kombat 11 Steam Unlock Time
As of writing, the Mortal Kombat 11 Steam unlock time is set for 10 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern (6 PM BST). Of course, this is all subject to change but, as we saw with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, just because it’s a big release on Steam, doesn’t mean it’ll get parity with other platforms, as hard as that may be to stomach.
Mortal Kombat 11 Preload dates
You can now preload Mortal Kombat 11 on all available platforms, including Nintendo Switch, just as long as you’ve already sorted a digital pre-order through the respective storefronts. That should make the meaty download all the more palatable come the unlock time on April 23.
